Cairns genre fans will get a taste of Monster Pictures’ annual Melbourne-based genre film festival MONSTER FEST this December thanks to our continued partnership with Event Cinemas to present MONSTER FEST TRAVELLING SIDESHOW at Event Cinemas Cairns Central on December 8-10th, 2017.

MONSTER FEST TRAVELLING SIDESHOW is a mix of horror-centric highlights around the globe! Opening with the North Queensland Premiere of THROWBACK filmmaker Travis Bain’s LANDFALL, a cat and mouse thriller that pits its protagonists against both their fellow man and mother nature. Closing the festival and fresh from its MONSTER FEST Australian Premiere is the latest from BACKCOUNTRY filmmaker Adam MacDonald, PYEWACKET, an occult thriller that will have you on the edge of seven seats from where you first sat when you entered the cinema.

A young couple in North Queensland are trapped in their beach house by three armed fugitives carrying a sealed Esky containing unknown contents, They must rely on their wits and cunning to survive as a severe tropical cyclone looms.

Leah, a teenage girl is forced to move to a house in the woods by her unstable mother after the painful passing of her father. Feeling trapped and hopeless, Leah turns to Black Magic to release her anger. She naively performs an occult ritual found in a book on her bedroom shelf to evoke the spirit of a witch to kill her mother. Stricken by guilt, Leah desperately tries to reverse the spell, but soon realizes she has awoken something in the woods, and nothing can prepare Leah for the terror she has unleashed.
